They like it!

Our winter days are spent tidying the penguin reserves, planting trees and analysing the data and information from last season - and we don't usually get to see the penguins (and a paucity of penguin photos). Sometimes we get to hear them in the evening but during the day there is no one home. Even now in mid August we are not seeing them in the colonies just yet (we did last year). These two were a real treat, not only because they were the first adults we had seen in ages but also because they decided they liked this newly minted nest box in a new place. We tried to make it attractive by providing furniture, ie cabbage tree leaves, and until now no takers. On this day this couple decided to hang out in it and try it out for size. We'll find out SHE likes is well enough for her precious eggs some time next month!
